“Your Dress Allowance 
Will Do Double Duty” 
Hill 
Simply choose with skill and you can make the money you devote to 
dress go twice as far. Fashionable clothes are not expensive if they are 
bought carefully. 
But fads and fashions are as far apart as the poles. 1 he problem is to 
distinguish between them. Buy from coming modes and you can 
secure clothes that will continue in style until they have given a full 
measure of service. 
Harper’s Bazar helps you to do 
just this. From its pages you 
may learn how to get the lines, 
attain the smart touches and 
produce the effects without 
which no well-gowned woman 
is satisfied. It is not so much 
a matter of cost as it is of know¬ 
ing how! 
Before spending a single dollar 
on new clothes, before even 
planning your Fall wardrobe, 
consult the Bazar’s Autumn 
Fashion Numbers.

fashion, Worth, Drecoll, 
Cheruit, Paquin, and Premet,and

will find their interpretations of 
the Fall mode in the Bazar. 
Fashion Insurance

same time economically you 
have but to read, study and apply 
the authoritative advice of these 
famous modistes. See their 
styles. Then adapt and modify 
them to suit yourself. This is 
the only way to keep your cos¬ 
tumes from looking like every¬ 
one’s else.

The Children’s Pony 
it A BOY or a girl can get more fun, 
Tx physical development and health 
to the square inch out of a Shetland pony 
than in any other way of which I know, 
besides more real, unalloyed happiness 
than he or she will be apt to find in a for¬ 
tune in later life,” said a friend the other 
day, as his two small boys, aged eight and 
ten, came galloping in from their jolly 
morning’s ride with red cheeks and spark¬ 
ling eyes. And certainly when they 
jumped to the ground their enthusiasm 
over the pretty ponies bore out to the let¬ 
ter their father's summing up. 
The Shetland pony is the most reliable, 
hardiest, prettiest, and the freest from de¬ 
fects of any of the known breeds, besides 
having no vicious traits and suffering 
least from neglect, which readily accounts 
for some of its popularity. Once happily 
adopted into the family he becomes the 
beloved companion of the children, and 
seems to enter into their various play with 
what is almost the intelligence of a human, 
The extreme hardiness and good humor of the Shetland 
accounts for his popularity 
while it is really no exaggeration to say 
that as a restorer to and preserver of 
health this pony for children knows no 
equal. The Shetland being also practically 
immune to all diseases and full to the bub¬ 
bling over point of vital force, animal 
spirits and magnetism, he seems to impart 
more or less of this vigor to his riders, 
while the very fact, of course, that chil¬ 
dren have a pony to ride and drive keeps 
them out in the healthful atmosphere of 
the open air, when otherwise they might 
be lolling about indoors. 
But to see the Shetlands at their best 
and to learn something of their proper 
care and keep a trip should be made to 
one of the famous breeders of these 
ponies, such as Dr. Elliot, at Belle Meade 
Farm, Markham, Fauquier County, Vir¬ 
ginia, where is the home of many of the 
sturdy Shetland Island champions which 
have won fame for their owner. To speak 
of the beauty of such well-known stal-
